If someone wants to try this, here ya go:

cat /dev/block/mmcblkXpX > /sdcard/X.img

I am at work right now, but will mess with it when I get home tonight

Here is what I got from dj_steve:

find out the mount points using mount then cat /dev/block/mmcblkXpX > /sdcard/X.img should work

How dif you dump the system and boot images for the streak 7 since it doesnt have mtd? I need to dump the recovery because I am working to get it supported through CWM.

I have just secured us a DEV! Jaywan from the glacier forums. I made a $50 donation for him to start. So as soon as we get a recovery we can start testing his builds. He said he will port over HC for us. He did it for Team Royal for the MT4G :) So we now have a dev fellas

NOW LETS GET A CWR GOING!!

ok. so as dj_steve was saying... we have to find out which block is the one that contains the recovery partition... and then the cat /dev/block/mmcblkXpX > /sdcard/X.img command needs to be given to a specific block where X stands for the block number
